Midterm:
chapter 1:
Aboriginal peoples: the original inhabitants of a country or territory
accommodation: one culture modifying itself to fit in with the dominant culture
acculturation: change in cultures resulting from exposure to each other (cultures become less
distinct and more like one another. Individuals experience acculturation when their social roles
are shaped by norms and values that are largely foreign to their native culture.)
affirmation: a personal declaration that one's own culture or identity has value and validity
the arts: (also fine arts) t use of skill and creative imagination.
apartheid: a policy of racial segregation
maintained in South Africa from 1948 to 1991 (The policy established the doctrine of separate
development, whereby South African blacks were segregated into reserves known as
homelands and subjected to residential and occupational restrictions.)
assimilation: the process by which an ethnic group loses its distinct language and culture and
becomes absorbed into the dominant group
Cultural revitalization: a rebirth or newfound interest in growth in a culture
Customs: a long established practice or habit of a community.
Global Village: a term coined by Marshall McLachlan that describes how electronic mass media
collapse space and time barriers, and people from all over the world interact.
Homogenization: the process by which all cultures gradually lose their distinctive features and
one blended culture results in a monoculture.
Hybridization: the process of cultures changing to produce a new culture due to influences of
other cultures. Example: the maties culture is a result of hybridization of first nations and white
settlers.
Interrogation: the joining of various ethnic groups within a society into a common society.
Idiolect: the speech habits particular to a particular person.
Marginalization: the result of a less dominant group taking on some of the habits and customs of
the dominant society, becoming assimilated, but no longer belonging to any cultural group.

chapter 2:
, Two developments fostered the rise of the New Imperialism-a need by European industries for
the raw materials found in other areas of the globe and the building of a transportation system
that was able to carry these raw materials cheaply and quickly to Europe. New Imperialism grew
out of the economic and technological changes that resulted from the Industrial Revolution.
Nationalism was a force in the New Imperialism: Each nation was trying to outdo the other in
terms of power and wealth to demonstrate its superiority.
The impact of Eurocentrism on Indian society was significant: Educated, middle class Indian
people began to adopt Western ways because this gave them access to British power structure.
The 1870s and 1880s saw the exclusion of several tariff barriers in Europe. The idea that goods
should be free to move unhindered from one country to the next was replaced with the idea that
each country must protect its industrialists from foreign competition. Because many
manufacturers produced more goods than could be sold within the domestic market, the hope
was the colonies might become an extension of the domestic market for manufactured goods. In
many ways European countries acquiring colonies in the latter part of the nineteenth century
was economic.
The most important development that led to the settlement of Western
Canada by European immigrants was the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The best example of cultural hybridization is The Métis.
The stated purpose of the Indian Act was to establish the rights of First Nations people in
Canada and to protect them, but ultimately it disrupted traditional lifestyle and being
discriminated against.
The Industrial Revolution led to a change in the production of manufactured goods from the
domestic system to the factory system.
This development had an impact on India: The British took raw cotton from India, manufactured
it in England, and sold it back to the Indian people.
One of the motives behind late 19th century imperialism was the concept of the "white man's
burden", which meant that imperialist nations during this time were influenced by racism.
The most significant use of the oral tradition is indigenous people pass their stories and cultural
knowledge to the next generation.
From the Canadian perspective the fur trade can be considered as an important factor in
globalization because it brought people of various cultures into contact with each other.
The main idea behind capitalism is that people who are free to invent, produce and compete for
sales, result in better and cheaper goods, increased investment, and more money earned by
workers.
Social Darwinism is best described as the idea that some cultures are superior to others.
The most powerful historical reasons for imperialism are rooted to Money, power, and religion.
